Cigarillo | The Flavor Apprentice (20/50/100ml)

The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) is a US-based manufacturer of professional food flavorings used in DIY mixing and culinary applications. Cigarilla offers a lighter, smoother tobacco profile inspired by small cigar-style blends rather than heavy cigarette or pipe tobacco, making it suitable for users seeking a mild and aromatic tobacco base. This is a highly concentrated aroma intended for dilution only. It is PG-based, water-soluble and typically used as a main tobacco layer or as part of more complex tobacco recipes. Note: We purchase in bulk and rebottle into smaller bottles (not original manufacturer packaging).
